Bro, I'm also experiencing the same issue. . . its really annoying and sometimes, it doesn't even charge or it might even get stuck at 50something percent for what looks to me like ages and sometimes, it even discharges. I hope we find help.

have you guys tried changing the USB charging port?

How would you change a charging port that works very well and is seen perfectly by a laptop?

I just found out my device shows charging over USB while it is plugged into an ac power supply... Before this trauma started, my device charges slowly when I connect it to a PC over USB but charges fast when connected to an ac outlet. Why does it show charging over USB when it is not connected via USB?

If the charging port is bad, why do my laptop see it? I mean I used my laptop to flash a stock ROM just yesterday to find out if it were a ROM problem.

I changed the port once. . . it worked for a while and has stopped again in the space of a month.

a faulty charging port can cause slow charging as well as battery percent reducing even when charging
seeing as you've tried every other option including flashing stock rom and the problem still persist,
then you should consider replacing the USB port (with a new one)

Well I took it to a repairer today and he confirmed there's nothing wrong with the charging port...
